Standard Safety Performance Specification for Safe Design and Installation of Field Fabricated Suction-Limiting Vent Systems for Suction Entrapment Prevention in Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Wading Pools

Standard Safety Performance Specification for Safe Design and Installation of Field Fabricated Suction-Limiting Vent Systems for Suction Entrapment Prevention in Swimming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Wading Pools

SCOPE
1.1 This safety performance specification provides requirements for safety in design and installation when using a suction-limiting vent system for suction entrapment prevention in swimming pools, spas, hot tubs, or wading pools.
1.2 The purpose of the vent is to relieve the vacuum at the suction outlet(s) caused by any blockage of the suction outlet(s). The vent is intended to prevent body entrapment at the suction outlet(s) and may also mitigate limb entrapment. It is not intended to prevent other injuries caused by the suction outlet(s) such as hair entrapment, mechanical entrapment, or evisceration.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Standard Guide for Safer Use of Movable Soccer Goals

ABSTRACT
This guide presents directions for the installation, use, and storage of full-size or nearly full-size movable soccer goals. It is expected that these guidelines can help prevent deaths and serious injuries resulting from soccer goal tipover. These guidelines are intended for use by parks and recreation personnel, school officials, sports equipment purchasers, parents, coaches, and any other members of the general public concerned with soccer goal safety. These guidelines are intended to address the risk of movable soccer goal tipover. In designing soccer goal, the following may be considered: use of a counterbalancing strategy by lengthening the over all depth of the goal to effectively place more mass further from the goal's front posts, selection of light materials for the goal's front posts and crossbar and provides much heavier materials for the rear ground bar and frame members, use of a heavy rear framework and folds flat when not in use, making the goal much less likely to tip over. Securing soccer goals may be done in several ways. The number and type of anchors to be used will depend on a number of factors, such as types of playing surface, soil type, soil moisture content, and total goal weight. These anchor types shall include: Auger-Style Stake which is helical in shape and is screwed into the ground, Peg- or Stake-Style Stake which varies in lengths and diameters, J-Hook-Shaped-Stake Style which varies in lengths and diameters and its curved-top portion is designed to fit over goal members to secure it to the ground, and All-Stakes styles in which a minimum of two stakes must be used for each goal. Sandbags or other counterweights could be an effective alternative to anchors on hard surfaces, such as artificial turf, where the surface cannot be penetrated by a conventional anchor, that is, an indoor practice facility. Also a semipermanent anchor type may be used which is usually comprised of two or more functional components. The main support requires a permanently secured base that is buried underground. One type of semipermanent anchor connects the underground base to the soccer goal by means of two tethers. Another design utilizes a buried anchor tube with a threaded opening at ground level. Net pegs may be tapered, metal or plastic stakes, or both, and should only be used to secure the net to the ground.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide presents directions for the installation, use, and storage of full-size or nearly full-size movable soccer goals. It is expected that these guidelines can help prevent deaths and serious injuries resulting from soccer goal tipover.  
1.2 These guidelines are intended for use by parks and recreation personnel, school officials, sports equipment purchasers, parents, coaches, and any other members of the general public concerned with soccer goal safety.  
1.3 These guidelines are intended to address the risk of movable soccer goal tipover.  
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Standard Specification for Aboveground Portable Pools for Residential Use

ABSTRACT
This specification provides safety and performance requirements for portable pools for residential use. This specification addresses pool hazards including childhood drowning, sanitation, electrical safety, and entrapment. Portable pool has two types: Type A which uses no pump and filter and Type B which uses pumps and filters. Pools shall be resistant to horizontal and vertical forces in order to avoid break or collapse when tested. All air valves shall be accessible for each inflatable section. Once a section of the pool is inflated, the air valve shall be capable of being inserted inside the inflated section without extending beyond the surface more than a certain length. Written instructions shall be provided with each pool. They shall include the pool model name or number, the name, address, and phone number of the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer and shall cover, at a minimum: pool safety, product description, parts and assembly (including where and how to affix safety signs, if applicable), filling (including information on the fill line), emptying, deflation (if applicable), cleaning, maintenance, and storage.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification provides safety and performance requirements for portable pools for residential use.  
1.2 This specification addresses pool hazards including childhood drowning, sanitation, electrical safety, and entrapment.  
1.3 This specification covers both portable pools that are designed to be used with pumps and filters and those not designed to be used with pumps and filters.  
1.4 This specification covers all types of portable pools with a water depth of less than 36 in. (91 cm). Aboveground/on ground residential swimming pools with a water depth of 36 in. (91 cm) or greater shall comply with ANSI/APSP-4.  
1.5 This specification does not cover public pools, pools used in commercial amusement parks, water fountains, water displays, or fish ponds.  
1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
